I can wholeheartedly recommend that film (and Ken Loach's filmns in general). The following review excerpt [1] is telling and heartbreaking:
The stakes of the film are simultaneously huge and small. The Turners don’t need much. Some stability; a steady income, of course; more time would be a dream. Really, though, the most precious thing they have is each other. But there’s no time for that because then there’d be no money.

- sethammons 6y agoThere were a couple of years where I saw my wife for approximately 3 minutes a day. She worked nights and I worked days (plus school) and we saw each other as we handed off the kid as I walked in the door and she walked out. I was asleep when she got home and she was asleep when I left in tue morning.
- robtherobber 6y agoThat sounds terrible. Although I agree that life is complex enough to require sacrifices at times - it's simply unavoidable sometimes, I find it hard to swallow that people are required to go through this. Because you shouldn't have to go through this if we would've done a better job and organising society and economy.
